One work-around is to override the pickle/unpickle methods of the
resource itself. But that's a tough decision (I am not sure I would
recommend this). On the other hand, attributes are meant to be
"resource-independent" by definition (and this might be important,
even though I am rather unsure), and your attributes are clearly not.

BTW: don't you have a pointer to the CommandRegistry in the segments ?
Couldn't you add one there ?
